Guidelines for the Preparation of Transportation Impact Studies - 8th ...

8.0 Documentation and Reporting
This final section provides some guidelines for the organization and format of the TIS itself.
8.0.1 It is recommended that a structure and format for the TIS similar to that used for these
guidelines be used. The checklist included as Appendix A provides a suitable list of
section headings. The use of these headings will facilitate review, discussion, and
communication. Place maps, graphs, and tables grouped together at the end of the TIS.
8.0.2 The TIS should consist of a main document, containing the text, key maps and drawings,
and summary tables, supplemented by technical appendices containing detailed analyses as
required.
8.0.3 The TIS report shall be signed, dated, and stamped by a professional engineer.
8.0.4 A consolidated final version of the TIS should be submitted, incorporating all revisions
and supplementary analyses resulting from the review process. This will facilitate review,
both by staff and by the public and, if required, the use of the TIS as Utilities Review
Board evidence.
8.0.5 Five (5) copies of the final (consolidated) TIS and two (2) copies of any supporting or
supplementary documentation should be submitted to Halifax Regional Municipality staff
for review.
8.0.6 In most cases, it will be beneficial for the proponent/consultant to submit the data and
results of computerized analyses in computer disk form to expedite review.
8.0.7 All information submitted to Halifax Regional Municipality in connection with any TIS
will be considered to be in the public domain.
